Pittsburgh, PA -- Fox's Pizza Den, Inc. announced a new partnership with Roma of Georgia, to provide distribution to 66 Fox's locations in the southeastern United States. Distribution began in March 2009.

"After an extensive search for a provider, we chose Roma as our distribution partner," said Ken Crosby, Fox's Director of operations. "During the process, it quickly became very clear that the Roma team matched up well with Fox's. We have experienced the same level of service from Roma, an International company, as we are used to getting from smaller distributors."

Fox's search for a distributor had several goals in mind, including:

• Lowering overhead of distribution

• Assuring the consistency of the Fox product nationwide

• Lowering food cost for franchisees

The affiliation was confirmed in May at a Roma / Fox's exhibition held in Atlanta, GA. Crosby stated, "This is a meeting to introduce Roma to our southern franchisees. It will also be an opportunity for our franchisees to meet with other vendors and see new products. In keeping with helping our franchisees weather the current economic crisis, we will also have marketing experts speak and help our stores strengthen, grow and prosper."
